Abstract
THE electron spin resonance spectrum of glycollic acid irradiated at 77° K has been reported previously1, and consists of two doublets of unequal intensity, each with a separation of about 20 gauss. These were attributed to radicals having the unpaired electrons localized on oxygen atoms and coupling with the different hydroxyl protons.
